    I had a thread which was an ad selling dofollow links for blogs and forums and etc. Everything was going well, but today i received almost 9 infraction that i don't understand why. It says the reason is bumping threads. Which i don't get. when people ask or comment on my thread, i cant answer them by quoting what they said? Because every respond that i gave too people who ether sent payment to me for the list or had some question or what have you, got an infraction. I don't understand what i did wrong? can anyone please help with this? Thanks.
    Regards,

    Please read the posting guidelines found in the FAQ.

    Any post pertinent only to you and one other member in the thread or that adds no value to thread reader belongs in a PM. PM sent type posts are always subject to infractions.

    It does look lik eyou have bumped your threads !

    You only post in the B/S/T threads if it can help other people!

    Putting PM SENT THANKS FOR THE PAYMENT doesnt help anyone else does it?

    If a seller places a website for sale and they forgot to put the domain name, then a buyer might ask in the forum what the domain is as this helps other people looking at the thread.. Just putting PM sent doesnt help?

    Actually, if the OP doesn't include the domain name you need to PM them for that. It's their choice to either include it in the original post or field that question through PMs.

    Thank you guys for the replies. I know its a different forum but in any other forum its the normal way to go. Other wise, other people who may want to buy the product from you, may feel like "hey this guys didn't even respond to all this people telling him that they send payment or this and that". You know what i mean? It doesn't look right
    But i guess its the rule, and i brock it, but at least i learned the lesson. Thanks guys.

    A infraction wouldnt be needed in that case though surely?

    The seller can respond by saying just pm for domain?

    It's still bumping, and it's been discussed before. And no, the OP may not respond by telling people to PM them. They'd get a "pm me" type of infraction because those kinds of posts are not allowed. Most questions should be asked via PM because they're either relevant mostly to the one member or they involve info intentionally left out of the original post. Responses to BST threads should mostly be reviews from people who already took part in the deal.
